St Mary Magdalene’s Church, part of the Catholic Parish of Our Lady of the Rosary in Bexhill, serves as a central place of worship and community gathering. The church, designed by Arthur Young and constructed in 1907, holds regular Masses throughout the week, with specific times for Saturdays, Sundays, and weekdays. The parish is led by Fr Stephen O’Brien, along with Deacon Simon Kirkdale and a parish council.
The church administration, supported by parish administrator Bonita Osmond and the Parish Finance Committee, manages various parish activities and facilities, including hall hire. Parishioners and visitors are encouraged to participate in sacraments such as Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion, with detailed information available on their website.
For those unable to attend in person, the church offers services for the sick and housebound. The parish office is accessible by appointment, reflecting their policy to ensure safety and organisation due to lone working periods. Communication with the parish office can be done via email or phone, with specific contacts provided for urgent pastoral needs like Last Rites.
St Mary Magdalene’s Church remains an active community hub, deeply integrated into the spiritual and social fabric of its parishioners’ lives.
